One of the people Aimee Wallis Buchanan touched in her time on Earth described the experience this way: "You're lucky if you meet a person like Aimee once in your life."

While some of those whose days are spent doing good for others tend to take on saintly qualities after their deaths, those who knew and loved Aimee felt that sort of presence radiating from her every day, both as a Presbyterian minister and more recently as the co-founder, with her husband, Bill, of the Asheville Youth Mission.
